Pony Club Chart of Learning Revised July 28, 2020 Member Certifications will always include their highest HM earned first, followed by the highest certification(s) earned in any riding discipline (Eventing, Dressage, Hunter Seat Equitation, Show Jumping, and Western). Example: Sally Sicklehock – H-B HM, C-2 EV, B DR, C-1 HSE, D-3 WST Local Level Certifications- Progression begins at the D-1 with members moving through the Standards in the desired track (HM, EV, DR, HSE, WST) to the C-2 level. Movement from one riding discipline level to another is acceptable when it is to the SAME certification level, see example below. Riding Certifications cannot be awarded until the Horse Management for that level is passed. Contact your DC/CA to arrange for any certifications. HORSE RIDING MANAGEMENT CERTIFICATIONS NOTES CERTIFICATIONS (EV, DR, HSE, WST) (HM) Eventing-D-1 through C-2: May take the HM, Flat, and Jumping D-1 D-1 tests all at one time or individually. Flat must precede Jumping test. D-2 D-2 Dressage, Hunter Seat Equitation, and Western -D 1 through C-2: HM may be tested separately, but all riding sections must be tested together. D-3 D-3 Example of switching from one track (discipline) to another: D-2 HSE member wants to switch to the EV track. To do so they need to C-1 C-1 take the D-2 EV riding tests (they already have their D-2 HM) and then proceed to the D-3 when ready. They could take the D-2 and D-3 EV riding tests all at one time if they are ready. C-2 C-2 Riding Certifications cannot be awarded until the Horse Management for that level is passed. Certifications are recorded by the DC/CA. National Level Certifications - Progression begins at either the H-B Horse Management or the C-3 Riding. Movement from one riding discipline level to another is acceptable when it is to the SAME certification level, see certification FAQ’s, with the exception that C-2 Eventing members may test into the C-3 of either (EV, DR, or SJ). C-2 Hunter Seat Equitation members flow into Showing Jumping. ONLY Eventing C-3, B, A members may register to split the certification into two different tests (Phase 1 & 2) .
